The swimming pool depicted in the promotion is manufactured by Intex Corp – a California-based company that specializes in pools, spas and airbeds.

Saudi Arabia often omits women from ads or shows just their eyes. In 2012, IKEA came under fire for photoshopping women out of its Saudi Arabia catalogue.

The Swedish furniture giant later apologized, noting, that “excluding women from the Saudi Arabian version of the catalogue is in conflict with the Ikea Group values.”

Saudi Arabia was elected to the UN women’s rights commission in April despite widespread gender inequality, including the continued male guardianship system and a ban on women driving cars.
